Learn how to plug in your TikTok profile into CORE
What is Plugging in?
Plugging in a profile authorizes Pulsar to collect your private insights on your behalf. Plugged-in TikTok Profiles retrieve insights directly from TikTok.
🚨Important: Plugging in is only available for Owned TikTok profiles. This means you will need to enter the profile's login credentials to complete the authentication process and grant Pulsar an access token to your insights. You can revoke this anytime, but bear in mind, this will result in Pulsar being unable to collect your private insights.
What info can I gain by plugging in TikTok?
TikTok only offers private data, so you must plug in in order to collect any data on CORE. Once plugged in, you'll be able to collect the following:
No. of Followers + Growth
Country origin of your audience

No. of Likes
No. of Comments
No. of Shares
